Welcome to my randomness.

This is a place where I collect the things that I <3. It's a mashup of tech, culture, music, films, games and anything else that catches my attention.

My name is Lance Weiler. I enjoy telling stories across mediums and devices. I've written, designed, built, directed, and run various film, tv, gaming and immersive storytelling projects. I'm a columnist for Filmmaker Magazine, where I write about the impact of technology on entertainment. And for the last few years, I've been teaching a course at Columbia University on the art, craft & biz of storytelling in 21c.

Why Text of Light?

The name is a reference to a film by experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage. "Text of Light" (1974) is a wonderful film by Brakhage, who during his forty year career made over 200 films of varying length.
